!. w. F. Sutherland has been engaged

Keogh s. Davis, wholesale grocers Of St.
Paul. Mr., Sutherland represented q La

It is too absurd to think about. Mr..
Sutherland does not drink at all. and if

EVERY ONE TO HIS TASTE.

How Many People Make Themselves Most
DisagreeabIe Sometime
1t is an established rule of social inter
course that individual tastes are not to be
made matters of discussion or of observation.
1t would be promotive of comfort in this
world if they were never made matters OF
display. In doing this person is constantly
putting himself in opposition to his neigh
bors. How disagreeable such person be-
comes as a travelling companion Mr.. Wood
shows us in his volume, Under Northern
Skies" The author fell in with an old gen.
tleman on board Swedish steamboat, who
must have been, he concluded, a prig in his
younger days.
One morning keen east wind was blow
ing, the sun had gone in; for the time being
the upper deck was as cold as the Arctic re-
gions.
Lovely weather !" the old gentleman re-
marked.
Dead silence. No one agreed.
Abr he said, too cold for you, sup
pose. Now, don't call this cold at all; it is
simply bracing."
His face was blue, his teeth were chatter
ing, his coat collar was up, his shoulders
were at his ears.
Il suppose you'd rather have west wind
and sunshine. Now, l wouldn't. Give me
an east wind and gray sky; not that ever
lasting glare which daZzles you, or hot sun
that grills you and gives you prlckly heat
and a splitting headache. No, no, none OF
your azure skies and west winds for me:
gray sky and an east wind and I'm all right.
All this is something like" as cutting
blast made his old teeth chatter, his face
bluer than ever Youths companion.

BOULANGER 4 PRISONER,
Arrested for Insolence to General Ferron
in Connection With the Scandals.

Arrested for InsOlence to General Ferron
in Connection With the Scandals.
General Boulanger has been placed under
arrest for the period Of thirty days for inso-
lence in replying to the interrogations of the
minister Of war, as to whether he had used
certain language attri buted to him in the
newspapers. He was quoted as saying that
he never doubted that prosecution of General
Catferal was aimed at himself. He stated
that he defed the most minute inquiry into
his conduct and was further quoted as say
ing that if he had been minister of war and
General Caffarel had avOwed his guilt to him
he would have offered him revolver with
which to blow out his brains.
General Ferron telegraphed to General
Boulanger, at Montincon ordering him to
return forthwith to Clermont-Ferrand, his
headquarters, and asking if the words at
tributed to him were correctly reported.
General Boulanger in reply telegraphed Il
have returned to Clermont-Ferrand. | am
unable to procure the newspapers mentioned.
Send them to me- Ferron demanded cat
egorical answer, and Boulanger answered
with promptness that he was correctly re-
ported. Then his arrest was ordered.
General Caffarel has been found guilty Of
habitual dishonorable conduct. retired from
the army and his pension for thirty-nine
years service reduced from 5000 francs to
1890. NJ. Wilson, President Grevy's son-in-

A Wonderful Well.

A we'll which, according to the accounts
given of it, must be wonder of the first
magnitude, has been discovered near Har-
lem, Columbia county, Ga, about thirty
miles from Augusta. A noise can be dis
tinctly heard down in the we'll resembling
the sound of swarm of bees, and a glance
down plainly shows that it is boiling furi-
ously. A lighted torch was let down in the
well to see if it contained gas but without
result This well was dug about one year
ago, and has been acting like other wells
until about three weeks ago, when it began
to boil and has continued to boil necessarily
eyer since-Erchanqe.

MINISTERS AND ELoCUr1oN.

Oh, that we ministers would pay more
attention to the laws of emphasis and
infection, in the reading of our Bibles
and our hymns. never let an oppor-
tunity pass me to get the best instruc-
tion 1 can, and much of that instruc-
tion comes from the theateri in listening
to Legitimate" plays. desire to strong
ly emphasize the word legitimate. When
listen to such men as Edwin Booth,
John McCulloch, Lawrence Barrett and
others, and think of how every word
has been studied, and of the power
consequent to study, 1 go home and
take my Bible, and as read, 1 am led
more than ever to see my weakness in
giving it expression, aud from the full
ness of my heart say: Would that our
ministers would throw aside existing
pref udices and pay more attention to
the art of reading and speaking
The above is from the Rev. Robert
Laird Collier, of Kansas City. 1t is
worthy of attention by all ministers
who would improve their pulpit style.
